Chegutu
MDC MP arrested, house destroyed by Zanu PF supporters
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
June 12, 2008
Hon. Takalani Matibe,
the MP elect for Chegutu West has been arrested and his home destroyed
after President Morgan Tsvangirai had visited his home in Chegutu
this morning.
President Tsvangirai
was on a victory tour in Chegutu and he passed through the home
of Hon. Matibe.
Thousands of people came
out to greet President Tsvangirai. However, soon after he had left
Hon. Matibe's residence, a group of Zanu PF supporters descended
there and destroyed his property.
The house was severely
damaged while the Zanu PF thugs also looted some of his property.
Meanwhile, the rural
home of Kwekwe MP, Hon. Blessing Chebundo was last night also razed
to the ground in Kazangarare, Hurungwe by Zanu PF militia. No one
has been arrested.
Armed Zanu PF
attacked the homestead last night and Hon. Chebundo's relatives
including his grandmother who were asleep there had to escape after
they had been attacked.
Four of the relatives
have since been hospitalized.
